1x material is only 3/4 inches thick. I guess you COULD use it, but you'd have to use really short drywall screws. Regular furring strips or 2x2s would be better
Ours being an interior wall, I figured insulation was unnecessary. If I was going to insulate it, I would have used foam boards since my space was only 1.5" (2x4s were flat on the brick). Liquid Nails would be enough to hold the boards up. I would say it never hurts to insulate, especially if it's an exterior wall. But also if the room is comfortable temperature before you put up drywall it may not be necessary.
@@CityBillyAdventures thank you so much for responding doing renovations to my church. I’ve been doing construction for around 4 years I’ve never done it by myself and my brother and his wife saying that it’s to difficult for me and I don’t have the skill to do it but I’m fairly confident in my ability and your video solidified what I was going to do is right so thank you means a lot you just got yourself a subscriber in me 😂
Awesome! I wasn't always handy either but it's not rocket science. Most stuff is just a matter of having the right tools and someone showing you how to do it once or twice. I have some handy family and friends who showed us the basics, plus UA-cam is invaluable. Then just slowly collecting the right tools for whatever project you're working on. Whether you buy/borrow/rent, having the right tool makes such a big difference. Another thing is volunteering to help friends with their projects. It's a great way to learn from people who know what they're doing and it's good practice. Good luck with your project(s)!
That was an option, however our brick was so uneven, I was worried the furring strips would bend to the surface of the brick and I'd have a warpy wall. I liked the added thickness of the 2x4s (depth and horizontally) to stay more rigid against the bumpy brick.
@@CityBillyAdventuresI mean, I could have listened more closely to what you said in the video. 😂😂. Thank you for replying. Rewatching. About to do this.

This is EXACTLY what I needed!
Just the vid I was looking for. Funny enough, I’m also doing a rebuild in Cleveland. I’ll def be subscribing to follow along.
Awesome! #ClevelandAgainstTheWorld
Brilliant video. Very concise.
Thanks!
Excellent description. Good job.
Thanks!
Could I use 1"x4" pine boards as furring strips instead?

@@CityBillyAdventures thank you!
Can i do this in a bathroom 60 inches around the tub long wall ? I have a block wall that seperate me from the neibor .
Excellent . Thanks.
I have a brick wall in the kitchen and i want to add cabinet on it but they told me i have to add dry wall as well should i do similar thing ?
That's how I would do it
I like it, but I was wondering if you should use a vapor barrier over the brick???
The brick was exposed to the room prior to us covering it up. It's an interior wall. Hopefully we didn't need a vapor barrier 🤞
That was cool 😎
Thanks!
I was expecting some sort of insulation under the drywall. Do I need insulation if it’s an exterior wall?

Okay I know most studs in house are spaced 16 inches on center is that what you did here
Fairly close to 16" but we fudged it slightly wider. Normally 16" is the way to go for any framing.

would this sound proof the brick wall ?
It would probably take some insulation to sound proof it. There's nothing on the other side of the brick though, just a big chimney.
@@CityBillyAdventures oooh i was asking because im trying to find away to sound proof my bedroom brick wall thanks
Well I'm sure a layer of pink insulation and some drywall would go a long way, good luck with your project!
Why didn’t you do one inch furring strips?
That was an option, however our brick was so uneven, I was worried the furring strips would bend to the surface of the brick and I'd have a warpy wall. I liked the added thickness of the 2x4s (depth and horizontally) to stay more rigid against the bumpy brick.

Good luck! If you have the right tools, it's a pretty easy project (famous last words haha)
How long did this take
Couple weeks for the whole project but the 2x4s can be put up in a day
